josch told me that the firmware update script was updated to install 20250512, so the old instructions should work:
Prerequisites:
- Make sure Pocket Reform is charged over 50% to avoid power loss during an update.
- Stable network connection on the Pocket Reform.
- Small pointy tool (like a SIM card ejector) for toggling standby switch.
To update System Controller firmware:
curl -sfL mnt.re/update-pocket-sysctl | sudo bash -
Note: On old FW versions, you probably have to toggle the standby switch off and on after the update to get everything back to normal. In some cases, the charger chip can hang after the update and doesn’t want to charge. To fix this, unplug and reconnect the battery cells once.
